Some companies cooperate with Home Assistant (recent example is LG’s integration), others are neutral about it (community provided integration works, unsupported but tolerated) but unfortunately, there are some that are actively hostile to HA and other third party platforms.

My most recent example is Ariston which has blocked the community integration from working, and in the process, punished these users by also deliberately killing their own app from working as well:

They went out of their way to hurt these users.

Is there a maintained list of companies hostile to HA?

I obviously regret having purchased an Ariston water heater. It still does its job, but quality of life worsened and I’ll have to manually reprogram it to not keep wasting energy by heating water on weekends or while I’m away on work-trips…
